CASE # REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ESTABLISH WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS AS AN ACCESSORY USE TO AN OFFICE BUILDING IN THE B-1 BUSINESS DISTRICT; CASE OF CONCRETE MASONRY UNLIMITED, INC. : By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: The City has received an application for a conditional use permit from Concrete Masonry Unlimited, Inc. to establish an accessory warehouse use to a proposed office building in the B-1 Business District. The following items are enclosed for your information: Notification: Site location map Preliminary site plan, floor plan, and building elevations Proposed findings of fact Proposed conditional use permit State law requires notification to properties within 350 feet of the boundaries of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify properties within 500 feet of the request for conditional use permit. Observations: The applicant is proposing to construct an office building for his concrete masonry business, with extra office space that will be offered for lease. He is also requesting the ability to size the building to allow for indoor storage of company vehicles, equipment and supplies. This constitutes a warehouse use which is not a generally permitted use in the B-1 Business District. The building size proposed (6,000 square feet) is in compliance with the 35% lot coverage restriction 'in the B-1 Business District. The exterior walls are proposed to be constructed of a combination of concrete masonry units and vinyl lap siding. The preliminary site plan identifies a future outside storage area in the most westerly comer of the site. The B-1 Business District does allow some outside storage but Staffwould propose that it be screened to a degree of 100%. Recommendation: City Staffrecomment[s approval of the request for a conditional use permit.
